Sheriff Arpaio's Posse Surprise
Headed by Michael Zullo, a retired police detective, and rounded out with two former law enforcement officers and two retired attorneys, the posse's work was entirely voluntary and operated at no cost to Maricopa County taxpayers.I'm not sure that should apply here. All they are saying is that there's probable cause that someone committed a forgery and fraud, not who.
The investigation was conducted under the auspices of the sheriff’s office, at the direction of the sheriff.
Zullo was a sheriff’s investigator acting under color of law, retired or not, paid or not.
This investigation and any resulting information belong to the people of Arizona.
He has no right to sell it.
